my second Grand Slam win (also won US Open 2009 at MTF, which was a little more impressive) but this Slam will also have a special place in my heart

You picked Delpo to win?

back then I still had faith in Fed but since DelPo didn't win a MS or anything before that I made a risky pick.I had picked Fed vs DelPo for the title match with Fed prevailing. of course all the others had Rafa/Djoko/Murray in the final only 3 picked DelPo in the title match.

combined with my earlier picks I won that quite easy. you can learn a couple of things from me, son you know MTF has about 90 ~ 125 contestants every tournament and I managed to rack up 11 titles there (including 1 Slam and 2 MS 1000 titles)
